TRAVEL TIPS WHEN TO GO
VISAS & PASSPORTS
Summer is the most popular travel time because the weather is warm – ideal for the beach – and the atmosphere is festive. Attractions and accommodation can be busy at this time.
TIME
There is never a bad time to visit New Zealand. However, because the country is large and long, the climate can be wildly different between the north and the south.
A valid passport is required with at least three months validity beyond the intended stay. Australian residents do not require a visa for entry into New Zealand. Travel advice is available from the Australian Government at smartraveller.gov.au.
New Zealand is 2 hours ahead of Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST). Daylight Saving Time is observed from September to April where their clocks are turned forward by 1 hour.
Spring and autumn are quieter and the weather is beautiful. If you’re in the north near Auckland, you’ll still be wearing shorts. In the south, the nights will be cool but the days will be pleasant and the scenery will be stunning. This is a great time for hiking.
ELECTRICITY
230V 50Hz. No adapter required.
In winter, the South Island can be very cold, making it perfect for a snow holiday in the mountains.
